An open red envelopeAfter monitoring Yahoo! Mail's spam filter for months in case it wrongly flagged mail as unwanted items, and failing to receive only one genuine message (that I know of), this morning I took the plunge and ticked the box that says 'I don't want to receive any messages that SpamGuard thinks are spam'.

Up until now, I had a filter in Outlook that sent all mail that Yahoo! flagged as spam straight to the bin. However, I could not stop myself from manually going through the message headers every day - just in case SpamGuard was being a bit overzealous.

Oh how I dream of the day when I will be able to let go completely and will tick the box that says 'Empty Spam folder immediately'. It now keeps messages for a month before they are deleted. You know, just in case.
